Sinopse

A unique portrait of life behind-the-scenes at Downing Street - from David Cameron’s most high-profile female advisor.

Life at the Heart of Power is a very personal portrait of life as a woman at the centre of power. As Brexit discussions rail on, Fall offers an intimate account of the preceding seminal political years from the viewpoint of the ‘staffer’ rather than the more traditional memoirs of the ‘principals’- David Cameron and George Osborne, whom she worked alongside.

Fall takes us through 11 years of the Cameron project. From its inception and battle to win the soul of the Conservative party, through to life at No 10 during the coalition years. Reshuffles, relationships, routines, political scandals, births, deaths and the crises in between. Through two general elections and the surprise ‘sweetest of victories’ in 2015. Through two referendums, and finally to the third - the European referendum, and to the last days of the Cameron administration.

There is always the principal’s account - and then another which sheds the light on an era in politics - and brings it to life. Fall’s audiobook offers a different perspective - not just on the Cameron years but on life at the centre. About how it feels to be part of a dedicated, focused team all working to one aim. To live one’s life at such a pace under so much pressure, much of it so private, yet under the public gaze. To go home to your children and walk round the park. And for all this to be ‘normal’, for a while.

Resumo da Crítica

"This book is as good an account of life inside Number 10 as I have ever read. Kate Fall has an exquisite eye for telling detail and a rare ability to express it. The tale gives an intimate and honest account of some of the most important and challenging years in recent history." (Sir Anthony Seldon, Historian, Vice Chancellor)

"For over a decade Kate Fall was the most influential woman in British politics - as David Cameron’s closest adviser and gatekeeper. This is her fascinating, honest and sometimes hilarious story of life behind the door of number 10.’ (Alice Thomson, Columnist, The Times)
